Thanks everyone. It's so nice to be federally recognized. I am so happy for the people of Utah (and all the other states).

We're right behind you, it's legal here in IL on June 1st.

I wish this forum had a "like" button. There's so much to like in this thread.

I dunno. Judging from the news I would not be surprised if Texas moves forward soon. If I were a Texan I'd start looking for the perfect dresses, register on TE ...

Maybe a suit....hell will freeze over before I wear a dress :-) Karen (my partner) looks damn good in one though

This thread gave me the biggest, happiest smile I've had in a long time Congrats to all who have married (and to all those who hope to, I wish you well).

I live in the Australian Capital Territory where gay marriage was legal for about 6 days before the law was overturned by the High Court of Australia (equivalent roughly to your Supreme). It was wonderful for a few days to see the photos of the happy couples in the newspaper but very sad that their marriages now have no legal standing.

I thought the wedding attire was pretty fun in its wild diversity. I especially liked the photo of the woman in a wedding gown embracing the woman in a black hoodie. Since it was so close to Christmas, I had a giggle about "...Don we now our gay apparel..." For the occasion, what else could anyone dream of wearing?!

We wore t-shirts and jeans. Everyone wore jeans; minister, our witness. We'd been on the way to Lowe's to get a ladder when the minister called and said "I can fit you in between 3-5pm if you can get over here". Married in our church during the window before prop 8.

Maybe a do over because Knott looks fantastic in a dress. In anything really

It really is an amazing thing. I just want to keep checking the marriage certificate to see that it's real and legal.

So the state has stopped talking about 'responsible procreation;' in fact, they aren't talking about procreation at all anymore.

To couples married in Utah from one of the couples married in CA before prop 8; keep calm, you're still married. You get the thrill of filing taxes jointly, shopping for a tandem .... it'll all work out in the lower courts there I think.

And to those in Utah who were planning to get married today don't worry. There's CA and WA which have great cycling and food, just sayin' and however many other states we're up to and soon Illinois I think? I've lost track. Think it's 17 and I can never remember it that's with or without DC.

I saw them at the Acme Comedy Theatre when they did a show here in LA….funny stuff

Wondering why Sotomayor let it go to the entire court????….You know the Utah attorney general will challenge the validity of the licenses granted but hopefully the 10th circuit will resolve the issue of the stay in our favor to make that a non-issue soon. The marriages are official for Federal issues regardless of what the state does.

YES come to Ca….and if Los Angeles I'll photograph their wedding gratis and with a

Oklahoma's gay marriage ban was also ruled unconstitutional by another federal judge. He did order a stay until the 10th circuit hears the case. I think Kansas is the last state in the 10th still with a ban. What a nice change from when a lot of the bans took place in the early to mid 2000's.
